“What are you planning to do once you set me free?” Dana asked with a mischievous smile. Ben watched her happy face and decided to ignore the heartless woman. He pursed his lips and looked out the window. Ben’s childishness had wiped away the gloom in her heart as she laughed happily poking his cheeks “Are you gloomy because you thought I was sad as I was still in love with that jerk?” Ben abruptly turned his head to face Dana in confusion as he heard her call the bastard ‘jerk’. “Ha…. ha… ha…” Dana laughed happily. His guilt was written all over his face. Although Shadow had lifted the partition, he could still hear the conversation. He rolled his eyes; ‘Madam was too willful to tease his Boss so blatantly. Especially when his Boss was willingly going to give up him happiness for her sake. The man made a mistake… so what? What’s there to laugh about?’ “You… you…” Ben couldn’t say past the you. He was afraid to hear the answer. Dana stopped laughing and pursed her lips as she took
Dana soon fell into a peaceful sleep after being coaxed patiently by Ben. He watched her peaceful face as he decided his next steps. He remembered the wedding he owed her but there were things that needed to happen sooner. He decided to have a serious discussion with his wife tomorrow, he needed to introduce her to the world. He needed the world to know, she was his. No one could have designs about her and sleep peacefully. Ben got up from bed the next morning in response to Mrs. Bentley’s urgent knocking. He left the bed quietly and quickly so that Dana could sleep a little longer. “Ben, there’s Master Evans…. No Major General and his lady friend.” Mrs Bentley twisted her clasped fingers, she had no choice but to wake him. “Just call him Ed. He’s fine.” Ben chuckled seeing Mrs Bentley flustered appearance “Don’t worry. Make them comfortable. I will be down soon.” “Do I have to make him comfortable?” Mrs Bentley rolled her eyes. The Evans and Weldon boys treated this as their own h
Ben coaxed her gently to pick up the call. He hugged her in his arms as she attended the call in a shaky voice “Hello” “Dana??” “Yes” “Child it’s dad!” “Um” “Are you still angry?” “Um…” Dana didn’t actually know if she was really angry. “Looks like your temper is even bigger than your dad’s.” her father chuckled. “Mark called us yesterday” Her father paused. Dana sighed helplessly inwardly. ‘What was coming would eventually come!’ Ben hugged her closer as he felt her helplessness. “Are you happy?” Her father’s tired voice came from the other end. “Um” “Then don’t worry about anything else. Stay happy.” He smiled although he knew she couldn’t see him. Tears welled up in Dana’s eyes. This was not what she expected. “Dana, its mom.” Her mom’s weepy voice from the other end. Dana figured she might have snatched the phone from Dad listening to the background conversation. “Um” “Don’t worry about wagging tongues. You just be happy, okay?” Her mom spoke between sobs. She coul
Ben and team raced to the Savian. It took them only 10 mins with Ed’s flashing lights literally stopping traffic and Ben’s car that was modified to match a racecars aerodynamics for speed and performance. “Chief, we have no visual, but heat sensors have lit up with six standing, three sitting and one lying down just below us. Sending coordinates.” Archer’s voice came over the Ed’s walkie talkie as they entered the Savian. Ed turned off the flashing lights and ordered “Eyes on target. Alert me if you have any moment.” They moved noiselessly until they were 3 feet away from the coordinates and close to a clearing. They ditched the car under the cover of bushes and stealthily made their way towards the clearing from four different angles. They signaled a plan for their operations once they had a clear view of the cottage in the clearing. Shadow circled the area jumping from one branch to the other before reaching back in his original spot. He signaled to the rest that the cottage had
“How did I offend them?” Dana pouted. “You didn’t offend them but the one who paid them.” Ben chuckled in amusement as he gently knocked on her forehead. He was amused as Dana was usually keyed on. These sort of questions were Lara’s and Sarah’s portfolio. Ben only thought about it inwardly. He was not foolish to take the odds of 4 against 1. “Wipe that thought.” Frank pursed his lips that were curled up to the right. “My wife isn’t that stupid.” “Neither is mine!” Ed smirked. How could they not know what Ben was thinking? ‘Coz this was the exact same thought that passed their minds when they heard Dana. Ben shrugged, his face twisted between smile and indifference. “What’s wrong?” Steve asked as he walked in. “She can’t remember what happened before getting knocked out.” Ben’s voice was edged in concern. “More like she’s been knocked silly.” Lara giggled while Dana pouted. “Why don’t you tell me why you suspect memory loss?” Steve sat down with his notepad. Lara and Dana repe
Shadow arranged a meeting with Mr Allister as per Ben’s instructions to meet at Skylight in the afternoon. Roger wondered why Ben wanted to see him urgently; His lips curled up as he thought he might be able to see Dana again. Dana was more than happy to sit this one out as she didn’t want to be anywhere near the creep. Ben promised he would let her listen in on the conversation; he didn’t want her anywhere near a man who would covet his wife. Dana waited with Lara and Sarah in Ben’s usual box while Ben went to meet with Roger along with Frank and Ed to a different one. “Mr Adalase.” Roger greeted amiably but his eyes wandered behind Ben only to be disappointed. He realized the seriousness of the situation when he saw Ed and Frank following Ben. “I take it this is more than our petty indifference.” Roger pursed his lips. He was not going to fight with Ben, he knew he wouldn’t win in any case. Especially after Dana slapped him for Ben. But he was still a bit unwilling in his heart.
“Are you talking about Therese?” Dana asked hesitantly as she remembered her conversation with Lara on the night of Therese’s farewell. “Yes. That one. I accidently bumped into her some time ago, maybe 18 months I don’t remember. She asked me if I wanted to know how Jeremy found me so quickly. Naturally I was interested.” Maria waved her hand as if to say, ‘rest is history’. “Shouldn’t you get your facts straight first before embarking on a journey of revenge?” Dana ridiculed, no longer interested in knowing the rest. “I didn’t take her seriously until I saw Jeremy put his heart and soul into pursuing you. He never spent that much energy on me. It was then that I confirmed she was telling the truth. “At that time, I only despised your underhanded methods.” Maria sighed as she leaned against the wall. “It was only when Roger started showing increased interest in catching up to you that I felt threatened. I can’t believe I actually liked the bastard enough to want to kill to keep hi
The next few days went by without any major events. Mark was deported back U country with the case transferred to U country but was set free as Dana agreed to a pardon on the condition that he never contacted her again. Mark readily agreed as his life was more precious than anything else. Therese received an unexpected early Christmas gift in E country in the form of a termination letter. Having lost her job, Therese didn’t have a reason or required papers to stay in E country and booked the next available flight out to return home. A&E closed for the season’s break at EOB Monday. The next day- “Wife, why don’t you come to Adalase enterprise at 10am today?” Ben suggested during breakfast. “Okay.” Dana didn’t think much before agreeing. They had decided to announce tonight anyway. Dana reached the Adalase enterprises at 10 am as agreed with Ben in the morning. She walked up to the reception and was at loss as to how to introduce herself. She didn’t have a formal appointment with B
